Not on a station but there is a good snack bar at Reading if you go out of the main doors it's about 300 yards on the right by the bus stops.
I think it was run by the sally army some time ago,good food and not to pricey. All the best,Ian. |
Temple Mead's in Bristol is not bad, and they have a bar as well. Food is not too pricey and there is a good choice. They make a dam good coffee when you are cold and wet. Seats inside and out on the platform, so you can watch the trains.

Grindleford Station Cafe used to be great in the traditional sence. Big steaming mugs of tea..... a great favourite with climbers and walkers visiting that part of Derbyshire but not often by train!

I like the one in Manchester Victoria, since there was no trolley on the Calder Valley services when I travelled to Doncaster back in August, I bought a tea at a palce in the station to take with me, really nice and only 95p.

I have seen a quite classic looking area near the first northbound platform (think it had stylish coloured windows). I think it was a place you could get food and drink but I wasn't sure if it was open so I don't know what is in there. Situated near the vending machines.
While on the subject of the Vic Vending machines, they look quite dodgy, one was covered with a piece of cardboard, the other I later tried, after inserting money and pressing the button what I wanted the bottom part of the machine kept moving but nothing else was happening. So I didn't get my water. Wonder if these will get replaced. |

I don't think we will ever have reliable vending machines in this country while there are people intent on abusing them. There is such a thing as a vending machine that works first time every time but they are few and far between in the U.K.:mad: John. |
I was going to recommend the station cafe (Bahnhofbuffet) at Kandersteg in Switzerland but I'm not sure if Rösti or Berner Wurstel is acceptable grub to other forum members:)
Instead, for freshly cooked meals made with local produce at a reasonable price I can thoroughly recommend the station cafe at Dalegarth on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. John. |
Worcester Foregate Street is quite odd. At the end of the platform, almost on the bridge, trains pass with minimum clearances. Simple food, seems "home made". Birmingham New Street - I haven't a good word to write ! Ipswich has one of a national chain serving quite decent rolls etc, and a kiosk doing decent hot drinks. Peterborough platforms 4/5 I have visited frequently - cafe and kiosk members of national chains, decent stuff.
Liverpool Street wide variety of national chain outlets, pretty good standards. |
